It's Western moralist propaganda/disinformation, you should disregard this.
hellofaniceguy, I believe the aspect of the Korean experience many Westerners disapprove of is the extreme "clinicality" of it all.
You're better off buying a blowup doll. |

Anyone who say 'Jeju is the Hawaii of Korea hasnt been to Hawaii'
Anyone who say 'Jeju is the Hawaii of Asia hasnt been to Hawaii or Malaysia, or Thailand or Indonesia or the Phillipines'. |

Agreed. Jeju has appeal for asians perhaps but nor for westnerers.
It all comes down to the same point: the Korean image and dynamic extendes across Asia but not in Europe, Australasia and North America.
That said if you already live in Korea you would be mad not to visit it at least once.

it's a hopeless and useless task.
the main reason, even more so than food, much more so than food
is - geography.
if they want to market it as a tourist destination, it can't compete in terms of weather, beauty and amenities with its competitors in SE Asia -
e.g. Phillippines, Thailand. I'd even prefer to go the Chinese southern island .. Hainan?
what Western tourist, if they're already flying 12 plus hours to get here will take Jeju over those destinations???
and what local tourist will go there?
the only possibility I could think of would be Japanese tourists.. and the won would have to weaken a bit more vs the yen (it's already dirt cheap) to really draw some numbers. |
